The naked schizothorax is a large fish without scales on its body. It lives only in cold high-mountain lakes and rivers of Tibet.
Unlike related fish, the naked schizothorax is completely devoid of scales on its body. This feature helps it live in very cold water with a small amount of oxygen. The fish is important for high-mountain lakes as a predator that maintains the balance of small animals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
